National Chocolate Milk Day is celebrated primarily in the United States.
National Chocolate Milk Day is celebrated by chocolate milk lovers across the nation.
Chocolate milk was first introduced as a beverage to Europeans around 1689.
An Irish botanist named Hans Sloane is credited with adding chocolate to milk, hence creating chocolate milk as a beverage.
While chocolate originated in the Mesoamerican countries near present-day Mexico, the recipe for chocolate milk was invented in Jamaica and was popularized across the world through Europe.
Typically, chocolate milk is consumed when it's cold but some people prefer to have it with boiled milk. Chocolate of different varieties such as powder chocolate, drinking chocolate, or chocolate syrup can be mixed with different types of milk. Chocolate syrup is liquified chocolate. Both drinking chocolate and cocoa powder are in powder form, but drinking chocolate has sugar and milk solids mixed in it, unlike cocoa powder which can taste bitter in raw form. Non-vegans can blend cow or goat milk with drinking chocolate, and vegan chocolate milk lovers can add cocoa powder to almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk with some sugar mixture on top.
To celebrate National Chocolate Milk Day, simply buy a pre-mixed bottle of chocolate milk from famous chocolate milk brands such 'TruMoo Chocolate Whole Milk', 'Almond Breeze Chocolate Almond Milk', or 'Hershey's Chocolate Milk', or make a cup of delicious homemade chocolate milk by yourself! If you don’t have chocolate syrup, drinking chocolate or cocoa powder, homemade cocoa powder can easily be made by grinding some cocoa beans. Along with sugar, add your favorite toppings like cinnamon, marshmallows, or caramel, and enjoy these sweet chocolatey drinks with friends and family!
Yes, National Chocolate Milk Day is celebrated on September 27.
January 11 is known as National Milk Day in the United States of America.
An Irish botanist named Hans Sloan is known as the inventor of chocolate milk.
National Chocolate Milk Day is celebrated to acknowledge the popularity of the most famous chocolate-based beverage: chocolate milk.
If consumed with lower sugar content, one glass of chocolate milk per day is considered healthy. But if the amount of sugar in your chocolate milk exceeds three teaspoons, it is better to drink chocolate milk on an occasional basis than daily.
